Excruciating Film Sequels

Whilst in company, the conversation turned to the most cringe-worthy film sequels to be produced.

Top of the league seemed to be the second 'Sex and the City' movie and the follow-up to "Bridget Jones' Diary".

Personally, having found "Mamma Mia" an embarrassment, needless to say I abhorred the follow-up.

What think you?

The godfather sequels. The second one worked but the others, oy ...

Speed 2.... no wonder Keano Reeves turned it down.

Re: Excruciating Film Sequels

The second "Woman in Black" film was very disappointing. Possibly because the first one was so very good.

Re: Excruciating Film Sequels

I never enjoy the sequels as much as the original.

I did however enjoy the sequel Any Which Way You Can, the Clint Eastwood follow up to Any Which Way But Loose.

Re: Excruciating Film Sequels

Any of the 'Magnificent Seven' sequels. Far inferior to the original.

Having said that, the new version (reboot) was okay.

Re: Excruciating Film Sequels

Any of the "Alien" sequels - once the alien was "exposed" in the original the rest were just monster movies to make megabucks .....

Once a great movie idea is "franchised" then, IMO, it loses all credibility .....

There ARE a couple of exceptions, though .....

Re: Excruciating Film Sequels

I think most people agree that No2 was actually the best film out of all of them. I didn't like 3 much though.

Re: Excruciating Film Sequels

I haven't seen the 2nd one, maybe one to watch?

Definitely. It goes back to show how he became the Don.
